Answer

There is no original Holy Bible. The scriptures were written over a period of several centuries, before the religious authorities chose to select certain scriptures to be considered inspired. These scriptures were copied and recopied, before finally being incorporated into bound volumes that became known as The Bible.

How can you tell you have an original Bible?

I have a degree in Biblical Studies and I've never heard of a Bible referred to as "an original Bible." The original manuscripts (autographs) of the books that became the canon (our Bible) are not extant (still in existence). Bibles are mass-produced. They are printed from electronic copy by the company that owns the license for that particular translation. No Bible is more or less original than others.

I don't know if the very first copy of the Bible that Gutenberg printed still exists, but there are certainly still copies of the Gutenberg Bible in existence.

How many chapters are in ecclesiastes's in the original bible?

There are twelve chapters of Ecclesiastes. Not sure what you mean by "original" Bible, but you're probably referring to the Codex Vaticanus of Constantine which was one of the first to combine the old and new Testaments, and eventually became what we now call the Catholic Bible. Since, what was then the canonical Hebrew Bible was used as the Old Testament, and it contained twelve chapters of Ecclesiastes, I would say the answer is still twelve.
